So moving on to the next problem server, while trying to backup the
Master server its self (RHEL, NBU 5.1MP6) using ALL_LOCAL_DRIVES and an
exclude file, the job has taken 20+ hours to finish two days in a row.
Looking at bpimmedia and adding up all the KB it looks like it's doing
about 232GB total.

I check bplist and I don't see any unexpected directories in the list.
How could 230GB take 20 hours on LTO4? Available tape hasn't been an
issue. Today I have it going to DSSU to see if its any faster.

Other thoughts?
